The A's will be back contending in a year or two down the road because they may be losing now but at least they're doing it with young players for the most part.

SF, who the hell knows what they're doing. They trade away two young quality arms in Williams and Aardsma for a 32 year old set up man who probably won't be with the team whenever they start to put things together.

I'm gonna go on record and say I like Glenn Dickey. Sure, perhaps some of his ideas for his columns are not totally original, and who knows? Maybe journalists, GM's, Players or what have you actually do read internet message boards. But Dickey seems to be pretty supportive of our A's, and it's good to have a voice for the A's in the media.
